Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapter 9 of the Van Herk text, paying close attention to the information about Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model. Frequently refer to your Week 3 Final Paper Outline: S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G in Real Life assignment and the observations you made of the speech event, and assess it using Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model.
This week, you will write your Final Paper based on your outline, synthesizing it with scholarly and/or credible sources and concepts from the textbook, and posit a unique sociolinguistic thesis about the situation and event that you recorded.
In your paper, include the following structure:
Title: Try to be brief with your title and ensure that it reflects your topic and thesis. Be sure, too, that it is the same as the header.
Introduction: The introductory paragraph should begin with some background information and narrow it down to the thesis statement in the last sentence or two. Describe the speech situation, event, and participants very briefly. This is the place to provide background information on the where, when, who, why, and how of the speech event. In the last sentence, include a thesis statement relating your observation to the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model. The thesis statement points the reader to the main foci of the paper and the order in which they will be discussed. Make sure your paper follows the order listed in the thesis statement.
Body paragraphs: You may give each aspect of the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model a paragraph or more. A paragraph is like a mini paper. Start each paragraph with a thesis statement that includes what you will discuss. This will allow for smoother transition from one aspect to another. Then, include supporting direct and indirect conversation speech. Analyze your observations using terms and concepts from the textbook and scholarly sources. If applicable, make sure the sources you use are related to your findings. Do not summarize the sources, simply use them to validate your arguments.
Conclusion: Summarize the paper and return to the thesis statement. You may include comments about your observation experience. You can also point to further directions for research on this type of speech analysis. Remember, the conclusion is not a place to begin new topics.
References page: You must use at least three scholarly and/or credible sources that support your observations in addition to the textbook. Cite all sources in text and include them on the references page.
In your paper, you should expand each section of your outline into a well-crafted Final Paper, incorporating the instructor feedback from the Week 3 Final Paper Outline: S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G in Real Life assignment in your final submission.
In your Final Paper,
Analyze the recorded conversation in terms of the eight aspects of the S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G acronym with observations on gender, power relations, age, ethnicity, race, and factors such as the use of dialect, accent, paralinguistics, and so forth that inform the dynamic of the conversation.
Compare linguistic variations and how language is impacted by race, gender, socioeconomic class, and so forth.
Develop a thesis that describes the speech situation and event and asserts a sociolinguistic point.
Analyze how these perceptions and realities impact areas of public policy such as the method employed by politicians, advertisers, and popular culture as well as aspects of gender, class, power, and dialect where appropriate.
Examine various linguistic concepts that you have explored in this course and that apply to your analysis of your recorded event.
Explain how a greater understanding of sociolinguistics can affect tangible change in the real world.
